I burnt up the rear axle motor on my last 1:18, a swap would be very handy. I know they have a few different motors at radio shack but I'm not sure if they would be the right size or have enough power. Any ideas or comments on radio hack motors?

The motors in the axles are nothing special, I believe they're 260 or 280 size motors, finding replacements shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know how much the stock electronics are up to, I wouldn't venture far past stock though.

There are all diffrent sizes of motor, from pager motors to air compressor and electric car motors. I'm fairly sure the ones in the nylint are 280's size motors.
